Rick Stein’s Australia on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E5 – In his debut Australian series, celebrated chef Rick Stein embarks on a deeply personal and revelatory food journey across his second home, Australia.
Across 6 episodes, Rick takes viewers on an immersive journey through NSW and retraces his life-changing adventures as a young nineteen-year-old. From stunning Sydney harbour to remote outback towns, Rick revisits some of the places that first shaped him – and explores how Australia and its food is changing, and what makes it so unique.
Rick Stein’s Australia was financed with support from Screen NSW.
Series One, Episode Five: The Riverina
Rick journeys from the outback, down into the Riverina, uncovering how the harsh plains here were transformed into a fertile food bowl through the country’s first nation-building scheme – an irrigation project on the Murrumbidgee River that created millions of acres of farmland, and attracted an influx of postwar Italian migrants who reinvented their lives here.
He also meets a farmer who’s turned emu into poultry, and celebrates the region’s vibrant Italian heritage, tasting iconic local dishes and world-famous wines.
